Meadow Way, Chigwell, Essex

The prestigious tree-lined Meadow Way is full of elegant and individual detached properties set well back from the road, including this delightful four bedroom family house. Originally built in the 1930s it has attractive external period features including variable roof lines and bay windows while internally the property has been modernised but the original staircase and brick fireplace add to the charming character.

The house is approached through a circular in-and-out carriage driveway surrounding a front lawn and with access to the garage and the oak front door. This opens into an impressive hall with attractive oak flooring that continues into the snug/study, the elegant staircase with space for a desk underneath, a storage cupboard and a cloakroom.

It is at this stage that you can begin to appreciate the size of the rooms, including the 19ft dining room with its feature brick wall, tiled flooring that flows through to the kitchen and French doors to the large rear terrace. You can entertain numerous guests, and for ease of catering, there is an archway through to the extended kitchen where you will find a raft of flat fronted white units housing a hob, double oven, space for additional appliances and a small breakfast bar.

The relaxing 21ft sitting room also includes French doors to the rear terrace as well as a brick surround fireplace that makes an attractive focal point. There is a large study with a charming bay window and views over the driveway so is ideally placed for anyone working from home as it provides easy access for business visitors. Behind the garage is a 15ft storeroom with a window overlooking the garden and door access to a side walkway. This could always be converted into a games room, bar or an external office.

On the first floor there is spacious galleried landing large enough to incorporate a desk or small seating area. It leads to the bathroom with a bath and separate shower as well as to the four double bedrooms. These include the principal with a plethora of attractive built in bedroom furniture, another with a wall of fitted cupboards and a third with a row of glass fronted wardrobes.

The rear garden features a vast terrace where you can relax in the sunshine and entertain friends and family. Steps lead down to a lawn large enough for a game of cricket or football and is surrounded by trees and shrubs.

What the Owner says:

This has been a truly wonderful and happy family home for the past 50 years but the time has come to move to something a little smaller. We have particularly enjoyed the large garden where the opportunity to play cricket has been an important pastime. We have always felt the location is ideal as there is a delightful community atmosphere and we are very close to the countryside but are only about 40 minutes' drive from Canary Wharf.

We are within easy walking distance of a parade of shops and Chigwell station is only half a mile away where the Central Line can whisk you to Liverpool Street in approximately half an hour. While the M11 is easily accessible for Cambridge, Stansted airport and the M25. There are also great places to go for walks, we can stroll to the King William pub for a drink while local schools are also within walking distance.

With its delightful old buildings coupled with all the amenities needed for modern day living, Chigwell is a special place to live. It offers the largest open spaces of any Greater London area that includes Epping Forest, Hainault Country Park and Roding Valley Meadows Nature Reserve. Residents can enjoy a variety of top class local restaurants, bars, independent shops and sports facilities such as Chigwell Golf Club and David Lloyd Leisure. There is the excellent independent Chigwell School and Outstanding state schools in the nearby vicinity.
